how crucial is it to mark a driveshaft (yoke and u-joints) so as to reinstall it exactly the way it was when removed as opposed to being 180* out?

Easy enough to do so why not? Don't know if it's critical but I would to eliminate balance issues.

No expert here, but I've read that it's important to keep them aligned as they were for balance reasons. A trip to the local or not so local driveshaft shop for a balance might be required if you don't ?
